Has anyone been submitting their work to Associated Content? I just strated and was wondering how their pay compares to other freelance writing work? If you want to check it out here is my referral link: http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=24766 I guess we get paid for referrals? Haven;t figured it all out yet! lol.

I submitted to AC for about a year. Recently they have begun paying less and less for articles. The last one I submitted was 1200 words and they offered me a whopping $3.00. I found that to be rather insulting, considering a similar article purchased directly from a magazine publisher would fetch approximately $125.00 for the same word count.

Over the course of a year, I earned $212.00 for 27 articles. AC pays you directly via PayPal. They pay you for each individual article, so if you submit 5, you'll receive 5 individual payments. By the time PayPal takes their fee, you end up with very little in your pocket.

AC is a good way to help you get your name out there, but I find the pay rate to be ridiculous, especially since AC is earning money from Google Adsense everytime someone reads your article and clicks on a Google Ad.

Hope this helps!

If your PayPal account is a personal one, there will be no fees to receive or send money. Although there is a limit of how much you can receive ( I believe it's $600), I don't think one would go over that limit. There are only fees on Premier or Business accounts.

I do have a business account :(
Does anyone know of any other sites to get paid for your articles?

Worldwide Freelance is a great place to locate work. I highly recommend subscribing to the newsletter because they frequently include information about magazines that are looking for specific articles.

Here is the link for the website:

Here is the link for the Marketplace, which is a listing of places that pay for articles:
